The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Xie Chengqian's eyes trembled. This was also his unspeakable pain.

The one who killed her!

Xie Chengqian raised his bony hand and fixed it on the name on the paper. "It must be him."

The Crown Prince of Cang State, Qi Wei.

Song Xiwan raised her head suddenly, her pupils filled with shock. "That's impossible. I have no grudge against him. Why would he do this?"

No, it should be said that they have never even met each other.

Xie Chengqian's deep eyes were filled with endless sadness and heartache. He didn't know how to tell her that perhaps she died because of him.

In his previous life, he had kept his love hidden from only her.

Although Qi Wei killed the entire Yan family, he failed to win the battle and occupy the city of Daxia. Later, Xie Chengqian guarded the border and never gave Qi Wei any chance.

After fighting for several years, Qi Wei was defeated time and time again, and he had been holding a sense of unwillingness in his heart. In addition, he knew his number one rival Xie Chengqian very well.

There is a high possibility that he killed Xi Wan to avenge him.

In her previous life, after Concubine Shen helped Xie Qiang seize the throne, she began to secretly trade with the Cang Kingdom in an attempt to unify the world.

At that time, it was extremely easy for Qi Wei to travel to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Disguising himself as him could hide many traces, so much so that Xie Chengqian was unable to find out who the real murderer was until his death.

Song Xiwan looked into Xie Chengqian's eyes for a long time without any answer. She even saw redness in the corners of his eyes, which frightened her again.

Are you crying?

This was the first time she saw Xie Chengqian look like this.

"what happened to you?"

Xie Chengqian reached out and held her in his arms, his throat dry, "Qi Wei did all this... just to get revenge on me. I'm sorry."

Song Xiwan could hear Xie Chengqian's strong heartbeat and his voice filled with complex emotions.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

He didn't even dare to ask further, for fear that Xie Chengqian would really cry.

But Song Xiwan really didn't understand why Qi Wei pretended to be Xie Chengqian and assassinated her for no reason?

Don't you mind the trouble?

Song Xiwan opened her mouth several times but couldn't find the answer. Finally, she just said, "Then Yan Wushuang went to Cang Country to assassinate him this time? Did he succeed?"

"Failed."

There was a hint of helplessness in Xie Chengqian's cold voice.

Song Xiwan could tell from what he heard that a lot had happened in the past half month.

She didn't say anything, waiting for Xie Chengqian to continue.

"After Yan Wushuang stole the gold-inlaid jade mask, he went to kidnap Yan Niang. This was to gain Yan Niang's trust, bring him back to Cang Kingdom, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him."

However, Yan Niang was originally a spy trained by Cang Kingdom. She once served beside the Emperor of Cang Kingdom. She was sent here because of her excellent figure and appearance, and her ability to bewitch people.

He was extremely wary. He pretended to trust Yan Wushuang, but in fact, he turned against Yan Wushuang as soon as he returned to Cang Country and wanted to kill him.

When Song Xiwan heard this, she panicked, "How is Yan Wushuang?"

Xie Chengqian’s eyes tightened.

She really cared about Yan Wushuang.

"He's seriously injured and is still recuperating in a frontier military camp. He won't be back for a while."

Song Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief, then realized, "You saved him?"

Xie Chengqian lowered his eyes and looked at her, "What else?"

Song Xiwan inexplicably felt a chill on the back of her neck and quietly shrank her head. She wanted to ask Yan Wushuang about the specific condition of his injury, but when she met Xie Chengqian's gaze, she stopped talking.

She silently changed the subject, "So, it's not easy to avenge me."

"It's not difficult."

Xie Chengqian had already come up with a plan when he knew everything.

Qi Wei was still just a prince, and his position was unstable. If he wanted to ascend the throne smoothly, he needed to make great military achievements.

By then, Xie Chengqian will personally take off Qi Wei's head on the battlefield!

Song Xiwan caught the murderous look that flashed across his eyes, and her heart sank slightly. "Your previous injuries haven't healed yet, don't be impulsive."

Xie Chengqian glanced at her and said in an unclear tone, "I thought you had forgotten everything."

Just now I only asked about Yan Wushuang's injuries.

Song Xiwan asked in confusion: "How could I forget?"

What was strange was that Xie Chengqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he hugged her in his arms.

This moody look is a bit like his past life.

Xie Chengqian's promise came from above his head, "I won't let you worry anymore. Before that, Qi Wei can't even think about living a peaceful life."

Song Xiwan clenched her fists slightly. She wanted to avenge this grudge more than anyone else. Not only was she killed for no reason, but she also misunderstood Xie Chengqian!

"咚咚-"

There was a sudden knock on the study door.

Song Xiwan immediately pushed Xie Chengqian away and returned to his usual serious demeanor.

What happened in front of the palace gate today has caused a lot of discussion. Men and women should not touch each other. For the sake of the Song family's reputation, she has to keep a distance from Xie Chengqian recently.

Xie Chengqian seemed somewhat reluctant, and even the voice responding from outside the door became a little colder.

"What's the matter?"

Mu Yun replied, "Your Highness, Lord Su is here to visit."

Xie Chengqian and Song Xiwan looked at each other in tacit understanding.

Lord Su?

Su Xunyao's father?

Not long after he came out of the palace, Su Ningyuan came to his door. Could it be about the results of the imperial examination?

Xie Chengqian took her hand and asked, "Will you go with me?"

Song Xiwan pulled her hand back. "I'm already involved in this. If I show up with you again, how can others believe the results of your investigation?"

Xie Chengqian stared at her little face, which was still blushing, and felt a little itchy in his heart.

He murmured in a deep voice, "When can I stand with you openly and honestly?"

Song Xiwan's eyes widened at the question, and a blush gathered on her face again. She was really afraid of the ambiguous words he would say.

Why do you make it sound like they are having an affair now?

"Go!"

"Then wait for me here."

Xie Chengqian walked away reluctantly.

Song Xiwan touched her cheek with the back of her cold hand and felt a burning sensation.

No, if she stayed in the palace any longer, her head would be smoking.

Song Xiwan took the opportunity to escape.

Xie Chengqian had already arrived at the front hall, his face as stern as usual.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

As soon as Su Ningyuan saw Xie Chengqian, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed with a humble attitude.

Xie Chengqian had no contact with Su Ningyuan. He only knew that this person was not as knowledgeable as Prime Minister Su. It should be said that his reputation was not even as good as Su Xunyao. He was an official of neither high nor low status in the court.

"Master Su has come to the palace specially. I wonder why?"

"I hope Your Highness will help the Su family out of our past friendship. You know Xun Yao's character. She would never do such a thing!"

Su Ningyuan has been waiting for King Xuan to come back for a while, and wanted to come here as soon as he got the news.

Who knew Xun Yao was so competitive and won first place in the imperial examination!

Su Ningyuan thought that with this title, Song Wenyi would have to let him go no matter what. However, Master Du started to make a fuss about the results of the imperial examination.

It's really humiliating!

How could his Xun Yao be no match for Song Xiwan, that idiot?

Xie Chengqian's eyes were icy, "Lord Su, please be careful with your words. This prince and Miss Su have only known each other for a long time, and I really don't know who she is."

This is nonsense. What if Xi Wan hears it?
